In Daydreams, I wanted to create an atmosphere of going in and out of a timeless suspension. To create this feeling, I used indeterminate (ad libitum) notation alongside a more conventional, metered notation: at times, the indeterminate figures creates a suspended atmosphere (such as in the opening moments of the piece), while in other moments, propels the music forward with a rapid flurry of notes. The piece gradually builds until the climactic moment when the sounds literally engulf the listeners: a group of musicians who were on stage during in the beginning of the piece are now playing from the balconies, creating a reverberant, "surround-sound" effect for the listeners situated within the auditorium.
